SPS612 - Chapter 1

..... is the study of motion without considering the forces that cause the motion. It involves describing the motion of objects in terms of their position, velocity, and acceleration over time. It aims to answer questions such as: How fast is an object moving? What is its position at a particular time? What is its acceleration?

• Kinesthetic

• Kinesiology

• Kinematics

• Kinetics

...... is a method of evaluating human movement patterns without the use of numerical data or measurements. It involves observing the form, technique, and coordination of movement, as well as identifying any deviations from ideal movement patterns.

• Numerical Analysis

• Qualitative analysis

• Quantitative Analysis

• Presentation Skill

According to Newton's second law of motion, which of the following statements is correct?

• The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.

• The force required to accelerate an object is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to its acceleration.

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Which of the following physical quantities is a vector quantity?

• Mass

• Distance

• Temperature

• Velocity

Which of the following best describes impulse in biomechanics?

• The force that an object exerts on another object

• The time it takes for an object to complete one full cycle of movement

• The change in momentum that occurs when a force is applied over a period of time

• The rate at which work is done on an object

Which of the following tools is used to measure ground reaction forces in biomechanics?

• Dynamometer

• Accelerometer

• Force plate

• Goniometer

Which of the following best describes the reason why motion analysis is used in biomechanics?

• To study the internal structure of biological tissues

• To measure the electrical activity of muscles during movement

• To understand how the body moves and functions during various activities

• To diagnose injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system
